目的观察经过结构改建的丁型肝炎病毒核酶(HDV核酶)对丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)基因组RNA是否存在剪切作用。方法对HDV基因组核酶的茎IV区和底物结合区进行改建,获得3种针对HCV RNA的HDV核酶RzC1、 RzC2和RzC3。体外转录制备含HCV RNA 5’一非编码区(5’-noncoding region, 5’-NCR)及部分 C区的底物 RNA(HCV RNA 5’-NCR-C),进行 5’端放射性标记。在一定的 pH、温度、 Mg2+浓度和有或无去离子甲酰胺存在等条件下,将核酶和底物按摩尔比100:1混合,反应2 h后聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,放射自显影,推算剪切百分率。结果 RzC1和RzC2可剪切HCV RNA 5’-NCR—C,在适宜浓度的去离子甲酰胺存在时剪切效率较高。RzC3对底物几乎无剪切活性。结论设计得当的HDV基因组核酶可以剪切异源性RNA分子HCV RNA。
Objective To investigate whether the structurally modified hepatitis D virus ribozyme (HDV ribozyme) is capable of cleaving the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genomic RNA. Methods The stem IV region and substrate binding region of HDV genomic ribozyme were reconstructed to obtain three HDV ribozymes RzC1, RzC2 and RzC3 targeting HCV RNA. Substrate RNA (HCV RNA 5’-NCR-C) containing 5’-noncoding region (5’-NCR) and part C region of HCV RNA was prepared by in vitro transcription and radiolabeled at the 5 ’end. Under certain conditions of pH, temperature, Mg 2+ concentration and the presence or absence of de-ionized formamide, the ribozyme and substrate were mixed at a molar ratio of 100: 1. After reaction for 2 h, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography , Calculate the cut percentage. Results RzC1 and RzC2 cleaved the HCV RNA 5’-NCR-C, resulting in higher shearing efficiency in the presence of deionized formamide at a suitable concentration. RzC3 has almost no cleavage activity on the substrate. Conclusion The well-designed HDV genomic ribozyme can cleave the heterologous RNA molecule HCV RNA.
